When a patient receives an organ transplant, they have to take drugs in order to keep their immune system from rejecting the organ – and those drugs often have serious side effects. Such medication may one day no longer be necessary, however, thanks to… Continue reading Blood vessel coating could make anti-rejection drugs unnecessary
Pulp mills generate significant amounts of waste and we’re seeing scientists get quite creative with how it might be put to use, with the possibilities including everything from foams, to batteries to stronger concrete. The latest example comes from re… Continue reading Recycled pulp mill waste adds strength and resilience to cement
When a baby is born premature, it’s vitally important that the infant’s still-developing brain receive enough oxygen. A new medical device could help, by mimicking the heartbeat and breathing of a parent.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing… Continue reading Pulsating bed could prevent brain damage in premature babies
Air conditioners are a convenient way to cool down offices and homes, but they use huge amounts of energy in the process. A team of scientists has been developing an alternative solution for those warm summer months called the Cold Tube, which works by… Continue reading “Cold Tube” cooling system uses half the energy of an air conditioner
Modern Mars is a barren world, drier than any desert on Earth. But geological evidence shows that this wasn’t always the case – in the distant past the Red Planet had flowing water. It’s long been thought that ancient Mars was warm and wet, but a new s… Continue reading Ancient Mars may not have been “warm and wet” but covered in ice
An international team of astronomers has identified what may be the best spot on Earth to stick a telescope. According to the study, a high plateau in eastern Antarctica would have an exceptionally clear view of the stars, even outperforming other loca… Continue reading Astronomers identify the best spot on the planet for a telescope
So first of all, no … no one is saying that you should just grab dirt off the ground, and rub it into your wounds. That said, a new study does suggest that sanitized soil could be used to halt bleeding, when other means aren’t available.Continue Read… Continue reading Adding soil to wounds may halt the bleeding
In a nutshell, it works by measuring how the resonant frequency, amplitude and scattering pattern of emitted microwaves are altered by any water, frost or ice that may be present on its surface. As a result, in lab tests, it was able to detec… Continue reading Sensor designed for aircraft detects ice formation in real time
The researchers also demonstrated that it is possible to grow functioning human blood vessels in another species. Continue reading Researchers Create Perfect Blood Vessels in a Petri Dish for the First Time
